My Trip Around the World – Visiting St. Petersberg and Bali
I know it is crazy to go around the world in two weeks, but the two patent conferences I usually attend were back-to-back. That meant a flight from Denver to Russia, then from Russia to Bali. It took my travel agent several weeks to work out the itinerary, and I wouldn’t find out until later,…
PRx Performance – Home Gym on Shark Tank
I was catching up on my Shark Tank episodes and the new home gym from PRx Performance caught my attention. I have a home gym with a full Smith machine, which I really love. However, it takes up a lot of room. The weight rack from PRx has most of the same features, but takes…

IllumiBowl on Shark Tank–Can you patent a toilet light?
This week’s focus of Shark Tank was a lighted toilet. The invention, the brainchild of Matt Alexander and his brother in law, Michael Kannely, is a night light that lights up the toilet at night. The light is lighted by a motion-sensor that attaches to the side of the commode and illuminates a rainbow of colors.…
Shark Tank Takes on the Shefit Sports Bra
Evidently, having a uniboob is a problem in the fitness industry. That’s why Sara Marie Moylan came up with her Shefit sports bra. Accoridng to her pitch, Sara’s bra is different because it is the Ultimate sports bra, meaning that it is “fully custom adjustable” so that is doesn’t squish your chest all together. Sara,…
